Package : libapreq2
CVE ID : CVE-2019-12412
Debian Bug : 939937

Max Kellermann reported a NULL pointer dereference flaw in libapreq2, a
generic Apache request library, allowing a remote attacker to cause a
denial of service against an application using the library (application
crash) if an invalid nested "multipart" body is processed.

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.13-7~deb9u1.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.13-7~deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libapreq2 packages.
